Remove the Motherboard
This is a cold-service procedure that must be performed by qualified service personnel. The
server must be completely powered down before performing this procedure. See “Component
Service Categories” on page 57 for more information about this category of service procedures.
Note - When replacing the motherboard, remove the SP and System Configuration PROM from
the old motherboard and install these components on the new motherboard. The SP contains
the Oracle ILOM system configuration data, and the System Configuration PROM contains
the system host ID and MAC address. Transferring these components preserves the system-
specific information stored on these modules. Whenever you replace the motherboard or the SP,
you must update the firmware so the portions of firmware in the SP and on the motherboard are
consistent.
